    I need to transform PDF to text (ascii) ...
    How can I do that ?
    I opened a pdf file with acroread and selected all (just the 1st page)
    and clicked on copy in the Edit drop-down menu.
    Then I tried to paste into a OpenOffice or a StarOffice text document
    but in both cases the message was :
    "the requested clipboard is not available" and nothing got pasted even
    by selecting an HTML document ...

    I found the tool "pdf2ps" but it's not very useful as I need to
    transform PDF to text (ascii) ...

    Thank you for any suggestion.
    Maura
